We didn't make this trail, so no words (unless anyone wants to provide them!). But a photo from Spocky from Facebook.

Next week's hash is from Upham's Plantation on Woodbury Common (map is here). Please don't forget to rate the hash - the hare of the best trail of the year will receive an award at the 2016 Christmas hash.

Tampa, Runner Bean and Paperwork were all celebrating Birthdays this week and as has become tradition, we celebrated in style with a trail around Clyst St Mary and a BBQ in Tampa’s garden.
The trail took us down into the village where most of the pack wrongly assumed that we would be heading onto the marshes, so we all negotiated the wall to get into the field, decided there weren’t actually any marks there and climbed back over again. The next leg of the trail led us up a long lane which was mainly marked in fish-hooks. As we headed off up a track into a field, the rain really began to come down. Some attempted to shelter underneath a tree whilst others bravely checked and found the trail (at the same time trying to keep warm). Eventually we reached a long/short split. The longs were treated to a beautifully manicured field, before turning onto a lane and re-joining the shorts at the sweetie stop.
We headed back towards Clyst St Mary via a muddy farm track and a field with some …

Nice to go to an under used part of our patch, and it was a stunning morning for the hash. Many seemed to have arrived early - presumably because we weren't all sure of where we were going! But the usuals arrived late... Woodpecker, Fancy Licker, and Coffin and co. In fact, Coffin and Emelda didn't pitch up until twenty past - by which point the rest of us had left the car park. Prior to that, Spocky had welcomed the pack, and introduced the hares (twice due to latecomers). We learnt that the hares had to lay the trail the morning, after deciding that the route they tried to lay yesterday was far too long.

A proper summer's hash! It was nice to be out Crediton-way for a change, and much of the trail was new to me. Our hare, Woody, welcomed us to Crediton with a bit of history: Crediton is where the tradition of Christmas Tree's originated, thanks to St Boniface. She also explained much about the trail, which included a full health and safety assessment - "You run at your own risk"!

Twin Peaks had agreed to lay today's trail, because no-one else could! She was therefore quite surprised to find so many turn up. Apparently we (Bollards, Stix and family) weren't supposed to be coming either, so she'd been shopping. We now have an almighty stash of hash crisps!It was great to see Hole-in-1 back hashing (but then she only lives over the road from the car park), and also Son-of-the-bitz, who seemed to be getting over his chicken pox well. Plus two more with injuries who'd been absent in recent weeks, 3D (bad knee) and Spocky (torn ligament after playing too hard with someones balls, apparently). And not forgetting Double-D who was the only one to make it to the hash after doing the Salcombe Marathon yesterday.

Laying a trail - no go zones and persmissions

There are three areas that we are not allowed to hash across on Woodbury Common. Please see the document here.

The nature reserve at Dawlish Warren also has restricted access: dogs are not allowed past groyne 9 or anywhere in amongst the dunes; permission required in advance. See the websites of the Devon Wildlife Trust and Teignbridge Council.

If you want to lay a trail across National Trust land, you must request permission in advance. See here for more.
